The problem is, what would we give up? Sure, the 6th pick, but do the Pats need anyone projected to go that high? They already have Seymour at DE/DT, they just gave Adailus Thomas a big contract, they obviously don't need a QB, they added Stallworth and Wes Welker to the WR corps, they drafted Maroney is the 1st round last year... Unless they are really high on Laron Landry, but they could probably get Reggie Nelson with one of their two 1st round picks and still keep Samuel. And nobody seems to want our 6th pick b/c it has been too hard to trade it down.

Asante Samuel is an amazing story. And undrafted player out of Central Florida who has turned into a franchise player. He had more INTs than our entire friggin' team last year. I don't care about that run support crap. How many corners can take on an NFL running back one on one anyway? Pretty much all of them would get bowled over. If our D-line and linebackers are doing their job and the safeties come up in support, the corner should be the last defensive player responsible for the run. Imagine the trio of Smoot, Rodgers, and Samuel (the starters could be determined by the WR matchups week to week), with Springs and Taylor at the safeties? That's a wet dream. I'd love to have Samuel, but it ain't gonna happen.
